High Speed Internet! Oh Boy!

The onlinemac guy came out and upgraded our internet today. We are in a canyon between barns and trees and have a problem getting on the wireless tower that DOESN'T have 50,000 subscribers.
I had a lot to do this morning but I figured that since I forgot the Battle of Balaclava I should at least get fast internet for so my wife can watch TV on her iPhone.
So I'm spending my precious moments when I should be eating lunch watching the Roosty6 channel on YouTube!
Old Roosty is kind of a hot rodder! Never been able to watch him before.

Hmmmmm? Not quite the Roosty6 I am familiar with. We have relatively high speed out here in the country but the volume is limited to 10 gb per month. Otherwise there will be a surcharge on the regular $90 monthly bill. Outrageous I know but I look on it as the price of living in peace out in the sticks.

I have wireless internet which was a scheme by a local businessman who started an internet access company. This was before anyone had DSL in this area. Some people have DSL depending on your location. See Muddy Valley comment below...

I have a retired judge living across the valley from me. Probably the reason they extended the dsl out this far. It doesn't work that well, but at least it works. I can't even get a cell phone signal here.
